[QUOTE="LoneRanger, post: 74740, member: 540903"] This is me calling bullshit on Nismo, so watchout! I talked to the guys at JBL extensively when I first bought this amp asking what i should and shouldn't do to it. 1. CLAIM: This amp will never draw more than 100a, no matter what. PROOF: I have a 90a fuse in my line that goes to my 1200.1. It's been there since the day I installed the amp, and it's never popped. I've run it at both 2 and 1 ohms, wide open quite a few times, and it's never popped that fuse. The amp doesn't gain any power from one ohm to two ohm, so it only draws about 10a of additional current. 2. Claim: Running this amp in one ohm mode will get it hot. PROOF: I ran my 1200.1 in 1ohm @ about 2v of gain (a little less than half) and it got untouchably hot after about 30 mins of use. It never popped a fuse (internally or in the line) but it got hot enough for me to worry about it and turn it off. If you're only ******* about 800-900w out of it in one ohm mode, it may not get hot, but when you're pushing it to the limits, it will get hot, i promise. I emailed JBL tech service a while back, and here's the reply I got with my questions included. If you want to challenge me, call or email JBL and ask them the same questions. [/QUOTE]
